A serif text face with gently flared terminals and softly bracketed serifs that widen from the stems, giving the letters a subtly calligraphic, carved feel. Curves are full and open, with moderate contrast between thick and thin strokes and smooth transitions through joins. The lowercase shows rounded bowls and a compact, traditional rhythm, while capitals are stately and balanced with crisp apexes and controlled modulation. Numerals follow an old-style sensibility in proportions and stroke flow, keeping the overall texture even and readable in paragraph settings.
Works well for long-form reading in books and editorial layouts, where its steady rhythm and moderated contrast maintain comfortable texture. It can also support premium branding and packaging that benefit from a classic serif voice with a slightly humanist, crafted edge. Display sizes retain presence through the crisp capitals and confident serifs while staying composed rather than flashy.
The tone is traditional and literary, with a calm authority that feels rooted in book typography. The flared endings add warmth and a human touch, softening the formality of the serifs without becoming decorative. Overall it reads as classic and trustworthy, suited to editorial voices that want refinement without stiffness.
Designed to deliver a familiar, traditional reading experience while adding subtle personality through flared terminals and controlled modulation. The intent appears to balance classical proportions with a gently expressive stroke finish to create an elegant, approachable serif for text and tasteful headlines.
The italic is not shown; the sample indicates consistent color across lines, with strong word shapes and clear counters that help maintain legibility at text sizes. The flaring is present but restrained, acting as a shaping detail rather than a dominant stylistic gesture.
